Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje have been going back and forth before their White House fight. The interim champion said the Georgian-Spaniard fighter is not some superhero and thinks people give him too much praise. He believes he can beat him and wants to show that when they finally fight. However, Topuria feels he has all the tools to humble him.

As fight night gets closer, Topuria fired back with confidence. The Spanish star said he already has something ready for Gaethje. By that, he meant he plans to knock out the interim champion and leave no doubt about who the better fighter is. During his recent interview with Diario AS, the 29-year-old said:

“Justin has the same speech as my previous rivals, saying he’s going to teach me a lesson in humility and put me in my place because I’m super arrogant. But we’re going to bring him some calm anesthesia.”

The two fighters kept talking about each other before the fight, and fans loved it. The fight became one of the most exciting ones on the White House card. But it will not be easy for either fighter. They will fight outside on the grass, and the hot, sticky weather could make both men tired faster.

Joe Rogan Praises Ilia Topuria For Fighting At White House Card

As the UFC White House card gets closer, the UFC commentator gave credit to the champ for accepting such a tough challenge against Gaethje. Rogan said fighting outside is very different from fighting inside an arena. The heat, humidity, and even bugs can make things harder for everyone. He believes those extra challenges could play a big role on fight night.

“I mean, Ilia Topuria might not just be one of the best right now. he could be one of the best to ever do it. It’s very possible that he goes down in history as an all-time great. He’s so good, and for him to have to defend a world title outside, with bugs, humidity, and heat,” Rogan said.

The UFC commentator mentioned that this fight is tougher for the lightweight champion. Additionally, Rogan also mentioned that ‘El Matador’ has the potential to go down as an all-time great. However, his upcoming fight with Gaethje is going to be an interesting one for fans.
